There you go again, hanging out in the thread of two DA$$'s because you cherished President is walk around with egg on his face. Must have caught the TDS and now going through the BDS. Talking ill of the sick is pretty sad. Go chase cars.
 

Interesting.


AI Overview



Extradition between South Africa and the US is governed by a 1999 treaty (in force since 2001) that facilitates the return of fugitives for crimes punishable in both countries. Requests must be made through diplomatic channels, and the process requires dual criminality, though the U.S. does not need to establish a prima facie case.

Key details regarding South Africa-US extradition include:
  • Legal Basis: The 1999 Treaty governs extradition, replacing a 1947 agreement.
  • Process: Requests are submitted in writing via diplomatic channels. A Magistrate conducts an inquiry, and the Minister of Justice has final authority to order surrender.
  • Requirements: Dual criminality is required (the act must be a crime in both nations).
  • Exceptions: Extradition may be refused for political offenses, or if the person faces the death penalty (unless assurances are given that it will not be imposed).
  • Recent Legal Challenges: A 2025 South African court ruling (related to the Cholota case) emphasized that only the Minister of Justice, not the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), has the legal power to initiate extradition requests, causing a review of active cases.
  • Mutual Legal Assistance (MLAT): A separate 1999 treaty facilitates sharing evidence for criminal investigations.
